AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Constitutional Crisis: Chief Minister David Moinina Sengeh defended the Constitution of Sierra Leone (Amendment) Bill, 2025 after Parliament passed it on 10 August, as opposition and civil society push for Supreme Court review over whether the required two-thirds majority was met and whether electoral reforms like a 50%+1 presidential threshold and permanent proportional representation are properly adopted. Political Pushback: APC figures and Sylvia Blyden warned President Bio against assenting, arguing the Supreme Court could overturn the amendment process. Tourism Loss: The National Tourist Board mourned Pius George, proprietor of Country Side Guest House in the Southern Region, praising his hospitality and mentorship of young tourism workers. Public Accountability Training: EU-funded support helped 46 Sierra Leone auditors complete intensive report-writing training to strengthen management letter reporting and accountability. Agriculture & Industry: Sierra Leone Brewery Limited hit a record sorghum supply of 1,004 tonnes in 2026, raising its 2027 local sourcing target to 1,350–1,400 tonnes. Environment & Protected Areas: NPAA continued demolitions at Aberdeen Creek, a Ramsar-protected wetland, calling for more logistical support to protect Sierra Leone’s sensitive ecosystems. Health Watch (Regional): Reports say DR Congo’s Ebola outbreak has become the deadliest on record, with deaths and fatality rates rising sharply.
